I have only seen the Chiller channel and it really is not that good. You guys should check out MGM HD this Halloween weekend as they are showing some awesome horror movies.

Up here in Canada we have a channel called ScreamTV. It\’s awesome. Horror movies, horror episodic tv, good shit. Perhaps some of you get it on satellite?

Monsters HD on Cablevision’s Voom (which the crooks at Cablevision owned and ran) was the BOMB!

High def, no commercials, uncut, undedited pure horror and sci fi, with some cool behind the scenes specials.

Cablevision screwed all of their subscribers as well as Dish network subscribers.

Optimum/Cablevision blows.

I had this channel back when they were on VOOM, its one of the most depressing things I had to deal with losing this channel. I still have some of the movies on my DVR including all the F13s. Chiller really sucks, the closest thing is HDNET Movies and MGMHD, I actually saw the F13 movies on HDNET and MGM had some nice low budget horror, none of it compares though to MonstersHD.

And I agree with the others on here, Chiller sucks.

Monsters HD was great, I hope another channel like it comes out soon… As far as the entertainment industry goes, that started going down hill back in the 90’s. When it became more about liberal propaganda, than an industry which reflected what the people wanted. Maybe someday liberals will lose control, and normal people’s voices will be heard again… It’s funny how very small groups of people, like liberals and conservatives, are always claiming to be the majority, then trying to control eveything… Anyway, we need more Horror channels. It’s the most overlooked genre.

And Chiller doesn’t even hold a candle to Monsters HD.

terry, I couldn’t have said it better my self… Every part of the entertainment industry has been run into the ground. Movies, tv, and even music (thanks to MTV). I’m with you a hundred percent, about new cable or satellite companys that have their own channels. All of the main stream channels like USA, TNT, FX and so on, suck! They play the same overly censored lousy programming over and over. Showing a little variety wouldn’t kill them. There’s only like, two shows on tv right now that’s worth a damn. Burn Notice and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And paying over 60 bucks a month, just doesn’t seem worth it anymore.

Losing Monsters HD was one of the reasons I got rid of Cablevision. I just got Verizon FIOS, it’s cool has CHILLER (better than nothing) and FEARNET, which is very cool and FREE!

@ Brooke

Well said about the Golf Channel. That channel sucks.

pretty much all of the tv channels suck anymore. i remember back in the day when good movies and shows use to come on on a regular basis. now a days, the only thing on is lame politically correct, liberal friendly entertainment. and in the few, rare times something good does come on, it’s censored to the point it’s unwatchable. you know it’s really fucked up when you get two hundred channels, and there’s not a damn thing on worth watching… and the funny thing is, that everybody i know feels the same way i do. yet the cable and satellite companys still make money off of people’s boredom. because it’s more fun to channel surf than stare at a blank screen… it really is a shame that Voom didn’t last. hopefully a new cable or satellite company will come out that offers original channels with half way decent progamming.

Yeah I switched to Direct TV after they killed Monsters. All for Chiller. Chiller sucks ass, talk about an edited POS that does nothing but play 3rd rate tv shows. I dvr’d all freddy’s nightmares but never watched them, that’s the only reason I wanted the channel. I now regret my switch…

Chiller sucks. It hardly ever plays anything good, and it’s censored, which should never happen to horror… That was the great thing about Monsters HD, uncensored, no commercials and you didn’t have to pay extra for it like HBO… And the reason Dish Network gave for dropping Monsters HD, that it wasn’t offering enough variety and the ratings were too low. In my opinion, that’s bullshit. Channels like USA, FX, TBS… hell, pretty much every cable channel, are way more repetitive than Monsters HD was. And I know damn well that Monsters HD got higher ratings than the fuckin’ Golf Channel.

I remember seeing the ad for Monsters HD back a back when I was younger (I think 2003 or 2004) during AMC’s Monsterfest, and I flipped out. I saw that it was owned by a now extinct company (Voom), and I wanted to abandon Directv immidiately. However, my dad said that was out of the question. Then Voom died, and I was so upset that I would never get Monsters HD. Then I saw that Dish picked it up, and I was happy all over again (even though we still couldn’t switch to Dish). Then, Directv came up with their own Horror channel, Chiller TV. I was psyched, but it kinda sucks.

Why all the hate on Chiller? I like that station. Sure it isn’t scary, but the stories are neat to watch. I’ve never heard of the monsters station, I have Dish Network, can someone tell me the station?

I agree I LOVED this channel.
I still have F13ths 1-7 DVRed from them.
They look great in HD and part 1 isn’t zoomed in like the BR.
However 2 and 3 have been replaced with the better looking Blu-Ray copies.

They would really go all out on this channel to bring the best looking presentation.
Halloween Directors cut with the original lighting, Halloween 2-6, The Fog (better quality than the HD DVD), NIght of the Creeps, Waxwork, From Beyond Dir cut, Salem’s Lot, Hammer Horror, Bride of Frankenstein, Tomb of the Blind Dead etc etc…
